Some Enchanted Evening – Friday Fictioneers

‘Tis Wednesday-Friday already! You got it, it’s Friday Fictioneers time. Despite the fact that our fearless leader Rochelle is out and about, gallivanting around the Western States on a road trip, still she makes sure we have our prompt. This week, the photo she chose is one from Douglas M. MacIlroy – thanks for letting us use your photo, Doug!

I loved your twist – it made me grin! You deceived me totally. Their easy companionship made me think they were a long-married couple. And perhaps they are; there’s nothing that says a cosy relationship doesn’t need spicing up from time to time. Well done!

That’s why I put it in quotes. It was from 21 to 26 – time I could have been out figuring out who I was instead of stepmom to a 3-8 year-old and doing nothing else but housewife duties and working. Dullsville

Maybe you found out more about yourself than you understood. Most 21-26 year olds are busy being full of themselves and figuring life out by doing all the wrong things in magnificently stupid fashion. You became something bigger and more important than all that shit, and in the doing, you . . became you.

Woo! When setting up such a special evening and then beginning with hard-hitting questions like that, something not good is in the offing. I think I froze on the spot when I read the last line. Chilling!

Sounds like she wants to know where she stands and whether this is a relationship she wants to invest in. Save herself a broken heart down the road maybe. Though I think the man was hoping for a more romantic gesture under the stars. 🙂

Hah, I didn’t expect that. Like Penny, I thought they had been married or similar for a while, their understanding seemed so good. Sometimes shaking up the status quo is necessary. Being convenient is not what we want, is it?

Oh! Well, you open this with an idea of nice comfy couple enjoying the last of the evening, and then throw a spanner in the works. She’s been thinking too much about where they might be going methinks, or maybe she feels taken for granted. Oh the possibilities so that question!
